I just looked in for my Stats and the server is down for "maintenance"
I saw this message

The Load part intrigues me , what is the number that causes this to be displayed? or is 1.16 a "WU 's queued for processing" number or People viewing the site? or something else?

It't the number of threads waiting to be executed by one of the CPU's in the system.

Now I hear you thinking, 1 is not that bad. That's true, but as soon as I open the site it goes up to 20. Also not a problem, the server can take that, but it slows down the update, and pages come a bit slower. This causes reloads, more load on the CPU, more reload, slower update etc.....

(Thought a little explanation as to why the site is offline while the load is low was in place.)

OH thats interesting,

I got this message several times:

BOINCstats is currently down for maintenance or to lower the load on the server during a stats update.
Current load: 0

Please try again later.

How do you lower the laod less than ZERO.

Just thought it was cute.
